_________________________

Patrolman Alex Murphy was killed on the streets of Detroit. The major corporation there, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) saw an opportunity to sell a new kind of law enforcement officer to the troubled city. They took what was left of Murphy, encased it in titanium armor, wiped his memory and created RoboCop. Now it's up to RoboCop to clean the streets of Detroit and eliminate the one responsible for his murder, Clarence Boddicker. But it looks like Clarence might not be the kingpin of this town...

Based on the 1987 movie of the same name, RoboCop allows the player to control RoboCop. The majority of the game is a side scroller. RoboCop can punch unarmed citizens and shoot armed citizens. He can move left, right and duck but can not jump. Different weapons can be picked up from enemies, and power-ups to restore health and/or energy. Following levels, RoboCop will have to match a criminal's face to the proper mugshot and engage in a first-person shooting bonus round.

Trivia

The Hit Squad release of this game for the Atari ST came with a sealed envelope containing game cheat codes "For emergency use only".

Description from the packaging:

Part man, part machine, all game.
The future of Law Enforcement.
A sadistic crime wave is sweeping through old Detroit. The situation is explosive - in fact, it is so bad a private corporation, O.C.P. has assumed control of the police force. The, a research team creates an unstoppable, indestructible law enforcement cyborg - named RoboCop.

As RoboCop you are programmed to 1) Serve the public trust, 2) Uphold the law, and 3) Protect the innocent as you blast your way through city streets. Using a wild assortment of weapons, including RoboCop's Special Issue Auto-9, you must stop every sleazeball criminal you encounter with deadly, piercing accuracy. But, beware, there are forces on the street - and within O.C.P. - that will stop at nothing to see RoboCop eliminated. Make your way past street thugs, the notorious Clarence Boddiker and powerful Ed-209 to your final battle with Dick Jones.

Prepare yourself for non-stop action in one of the most explosive games you will ever play.
It's going to take more than a cop to clean up the scum of Old Detroit - it's going to take RoboCop. "Your move, creep."
